Chapter 1119 Snoring
Chapter 1119 Snoring
Hannah's voice successfully brought Oscar back to his senses. At that moment, his eyes seemed to focus and he saw Hannah clearly in front of him. He watched as she became so excited that her face turned red, and the next second he immediately let go of the staff. The staff fell heavily on the ground as if he had just survived a disaster.
"Commander, I was just helping you cover the blanket. This young lady is afraid that you might catch a cold."
The staff's eyes were red and he tried his best to speak clearly.
"Sorry," Oscar regained his composure, "I just had a bad dream. Excuse me."
He received an apology from Oscar, finding it hard to believe.
The bloody and cruel man just now and the gentle and handsome man now were simply not the same person. Being treated like this by Commander at this moment made him almost forget the fear he had just experienced.
"Go take a rest," Oscar said.
The staff said "thank you" and then got up respectfully and left.
Hannah turned around and returned to her spot. She supposed Oscar had fully regained consciousness now.
"Did I scare you?" Oscar suddenly spoke up.
Hannah paused and shook her head, "No." She knew Oscar was only defending himself and not actively attacking anyone. Oscar chuckled self-deprecatingly. Because everything about him was no longer important to her, she didn't care about what he did. Hannah didn't pay attention to Oscar's emotions. When she returned to her position, she paused for a moment and said, "Your arm is bleeding."
Oscar didn't notice yet. He turned his head and glanced at his wounded arm.
He said, "It's ok."
"Let Theodore help you rewrap it," Hannah said.
At that moment, Theodore was sleeping like a log. When Hannah shouted Oscar's name so loudly earlier, he was startled awake. Upon hearing Hannah's voice, he thought Oscar was going to die. However, after realizing the situation, he didn't get up and went back to sleep. He thought he should leave some space for them to get along.
Or, how could old feelings reignite?
Upon hearing Hannah's words, Theodore immediately covered his head with the blanket. "I'm so tired right now, my head is spinning and I can't see clearly. I really can't get up. Hannah, please help Oscar bandage his wound."
Hannah glared at Theodore.
Theodore wrapped himself tightly, making it hard to breathe.
"It's ok, it will stop bleeding a little while later." Said Oscar.
Hannah turned around and glanced at him. Seeing him close his eyes again, she realized that if they both fell asleep, they would snore loudly and keep her awake. So she decided to grab the medicine box next to her.
Oscar's heart skipped a beat as he watched Hannah's movements. He lowered his head and avoided looking at her, feeling afraid to offend her.
Hannah sat next to Oscar and started removing his bandages. The cloth was stained with blood, but luckily the stitches were still intact, although some blood had seeped out. She used iodine to stop the bleeding while touching his wound gently. Oscar's arm muscles twitched involuntarily due to pain.
"Does it hurt?" asked she.
"No," Oscar replied stubbornly.
Hannah rolled her eyes but didn't expose him. She continued wrapping up his wound more gently this time until she heard Theodore snoring like thunder in the background.
Oscar looked at Theodore disdainfully before explaining to Hannah, "He didn't have time for proper rest since we arrived in Jolencami. Don't mind Theodore."
Hannah laughed genuinely this time and said, "You don't snore any less than Theodore."
Oscar blushed as he realized that he had been snoring too.
"It's okay. I understand."
Soon, she finished dressing his arm. As Hannah walked away from him, all they could hear was Theodore's loud snores echoing through the cabin. Oscar felt too embarrassed and agitated to fall asleep. He then stared at the lamp above his head, trying to stay awake.
Hannah had been facing Oscar with the back of her head. As she had not heard Oscar's snoring, she couldn't help but laugh a bit. But soon she became expressionless again. She tightened her lips and focused her attention on the night sky outside.
Six hours of flying had brought them to the Capital International Airport. Theodore stretched his body lazily, satisfied with his sleep. He turned to Oscar and Hannah and asked, "Did you guys sleep?" Hannah rolled her eyes at his question, leaving him confused.
Did they fight again while he was sleeping?
He then turned to Oscar, who didn't bother answering him. After all, who could feel good after listening to Theodore snore for six hours straight? And it was true that he hadn't slept since forcing himself not to fall asleep.
The three of them got off the plane and a private car had been waiting for them at the airport. They got in and drove through the streets of the Capital under bright sunshine.
Hannah looked out of the window with a blank expression on her face as she watched familiar streets turn into unfamiliar ones.
"Go back to my place." Oscar suddenly spoke up.
Hannah turned around and looked at him. She indeed was thinking about where she should go next since she had no money or identification documents that would allow her access to hotels or other accommodations.
"I don't know if Doyle will come looking for you in Northfield." Oscar continued explaining himself while avoiding eye contact with Hannah. "I can't guarantee your safety if you're not by my side." Hannah kept staring at him until he finally added, "I'm not invincible."
In other words, without her being by his side, there was no way he could ensure her absolute safety.
